Item Description

Item #: 1350278


ms Maasdam spacious comfort



Grandly proportioned and designed to carry fewer guests than other ships in her class, the ms Maasdam is among the most spacious ships at sea. Her grandeur is evident in a soaring three-deck-high atrium featuring a monumental glass sculpture by Luciano Vistosi of Italy. In the grand Rotterdam Dining Room guest seating on two levels overlooks an antique marble fountain from Argentina, and beyond - the sea.

Broadway-style entertainment in the Rembrandt Show Lounge, named for the Dutch master artist.

CHOOSE
a spot in the sun next to the Lido swimming pool and its bronze sculpture of five leaping dolphins by British artist Susanna Holt.

the wide teak deck of the Lower Promenade.

SAVOR
Holland America's mouth-watering cuisine, prepared by chefs trained in world-famous restaurants.

RELEASE
all your stresses in the sauna and steam rooms of our Ocean Spa.

PORTS OF CALL

Fort Lauderdale, Fla
Once the epicenter of Spring Break, today Ft. Lauderdale is a year-round destination where culture and cuisine are in ample supply. Beautiful beaches, sunshine, coastline, nightclubs and superb restaurants await you in this Gold Coast enclave. More restaurants and shopping on Las Olas Boulevard or Himmarshee in downtown Ft. Lauderdale are a must.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
When was the last time you whiled away the day on a private Caribbean island? Here's your chance. The island is ours; the day is yours to sun, swim, and sail. Enjoy!

St. Maarten (Philipsburg), Netherland Antilles
Where else can you experience the food, style and hospitality of two separate countries in an exotic West Indian setting? St. Maarten is divided between French St. Martin in the north and Dutch St. Maarten in the south. Both sides of this 37-square-mile island offer beautiful ocean vistas, gourmet cuisines, first-rate water sports and beaches, and some of the best duty-free shopping in the world. .

Bridgetown, Barbados
In British Barbados, cricket is the national sport and afternoon tea goes without saying, but it's true blue Caribbean as well, with classic sand beaches, hills carpeted in sugar cane and wild vervet monkeys in the jungle

Tortola, B.V.I.
Sail across the channel on yachts destined for Norman, Cooper, Salt or Pepper Islands. Here you can swim and snorkel into underwater caves and among colorful coral reefs. A scenic island tour takes you up Fort Hill to Cane Garden Bay where you can relax on spectacular white-sand beaches. Enjoy the tales of this historic waterway as you retrace the paths of Christopher Columbus and Sir Frances Drake.

Castries, St. Lucia
Castries is one of the most beautifully situated Caribbean cities. Surrounded by hills, its large, safe harbour at the head of a wide bay is a constant hive of activity. Castries is a major port of call for cruise ships, which dock at Pointe Seraphine. The spacious Derek Walcott Square features the 19th-century Catholic Cathedral standing in the shade of a 400 year-old samaan tree. There is also a colourful, bustling market.

Accommodations will be provided in an Inside Cabin for two people.
High bidders who wish to upgrade to an Oceanview Cabin may request a price quote at time of submission.

In the event of ties, the AutoBid is the winning bid.
